Hello friends,
Welcome to this writing meditation.
Please have a pen and paper with you as we move into a writing practice.
We are going to work with a series of writing prompts and questions that act as a niggle,
A nudge,
Even a nuisance to your consciousness.
All you have to do is write out the writing prompt and see what happens next.
Allow yourself to write easily and freely.
Try not to overthink or stop to read what you've written.
Don't worry about punctuation or grammar or spelling.
Just let the words spill out from you.
Remove all judgement as you write.
Keep your hand moving on the page and when you get stuck,
Just rewrite the writing prompt or mentally repeat the question to yourself again and go off on another tangent,
Even one that is oppositional to the writing you've already done.
See if you can write in different directions,
Answer the questions from many angles,
Enter through a range of doorways.
I will give you a series of writing prompts or questions and you'll have a few minutes to write into each one.
The writing practice will begin and end with a gong.
Writing prompts activate our deep inner awareness.
They are contemplative guides.
Some of the prompts are questions.
Remember that not all questions are asking for answers.
Some questions are placeholders for the soul.
You're not looking to solve a problem or resolve anything.
You're just seeking a thread,
A crack through which to enter an ongoing conversation with yourself.
Today's writing meditation is about finding a way into the three profound questions we all need to ask ourselves at some point in our lives.
They are important to come back to over and over again because the answers shift and change as we do.
Are you ready to begin your writing practice?
I'm going to give you three minutes to explore each one of these in your writing.
Are you ready?
Your first prompt is,
Who are you?
And you can begin writing with the prompt,
I am.
Begin.
Your second question is,
Where did you come from?
You can begin with the prompt,
I come from.
Begin.
You can begin with the prompt,
I come from.
Begin.
You you you you you you your third question is why are you here you can begin with a prompt I am here to begin you you you you you you how did you find that writing meditation was it easy did you struggle a little did you go literal and move into the symbolic did you deepen into the questions as you wrote.
Let me know how you went in the comments.
I hope your writing inspired by these prompts and questions holds you close to your heart and brings you closer to your inner knowing and voice.
Your writing is always there for you,
A doorway you just need to open when you begin to move your hand across the page.
